Actually, what happened before was that William made a note to the bodyguards following him to send some money to replace the money used by Merida. They would receive the money in full as long as they kept it a secret that William had commissioned Merida's debt to be paid.Meanwhile, Merida knew nothing about what was going on. She just watched from where she was until the man returned and whispered the secret word.The two bad guys looked at William with a heavy gaze. They bowed their heads slightly, a sign that they recognized William's superiority. They understood that they couldn't fight William, and that they had to obey what he said."Alright then today the matter is settled. And you!" one of the bad guys pointed at Merida who was standing behind William. "Today you are lucky enough that this young man saved you. Our business is over. But, next time don't you dare mess with me again!"They turned around and left, leaving a confused Merida behind William. Merida stared at William

It was late at night, William had just settled himself on the soft bed in his apartment. He lay, looking up at the dark ceiling, trying to find peace before finally closing his eyes. The moonlight coming through the window gave a silvery tinge to his tired face.Suddenly, the sound of a ringing phone broke the silence of the night. In a semi-conscious state, William reached for his phone which was on his bedside table. The phone screen displayed Evan's name. He sighed, then answered it, "Yes, Evan?"On the other end, Evan's voice was clearly audible, "Sir, your grandfather asked where you will be living next month?" The question made William pause for a moment. He rubbed his temples, trying to formulate an answer in his mind.As if knowing the doubts William was facing, Evan immediately offered a solution, "Sir, we can buy a house or you can stay in a luxury hotel near your campus."However, William immediately refused with a firm, "No." He added, "I'll stay in the dormitory."Evan wa

"William, I need you," Merida said in a worried tone of voice. Her eyes were sparkling, it was obvious that there was something she was hiding behind that fearful tone."Need me, for what?" asked William, his brow furrowed in a suspicious frown. He looked at Merida, trying to read what was really going on. William felt that something was not right.Merida glanced at William, her eyes sparkling slyly. "You can protect me, William," she said in an almost whispered voice, as if seducing. Her fingers slowly touched William's hand, a gentle gesture that seemed meaningless, but full of hidden messages."In what way?" William was getting confused. He felt Merida's cold fingers touch his hand, making his hair stand up. Something was not right, but he could not determine what it was."By letting me come back to you," Merida said as she looked down, as if embarrassed. However, William could see something else behind that expression. There was a sly gleam in her eyes, a plan she was unraveling.

As Vera was lying in her room, Robert came in with some other friends. She was fine, just too weak to get up. The presence of friends was enough to encourage her.It's just that, of the few who came, Vera did not find a familiar figure with her. Her eyes searched for a face that was not seen today. "You didn't come with William?" she asked.Jordan, who was sitting by the window, sighed as he faced Vera. "Stop it, Vera. Why ask that one loser?" he said in a snide tone. He turned to Robert, who was sitting next to him. "Robert and I are much more useful to you here and at least Robert brought you vitamins and food suitable for your recovery."Robert liked Jordan's comment.Vera just snorted. "Where's Merida?" she asked again, trying to change the subject."I don't know either." Jordan shrugged his shoulders." t's a wonder you're not together." Robert looked a little confused. He knew Jordan and Merida were usually together. They were quite a couple these days.Jordan shrugged, looking

Andy was one of the students who lived in the dormitory with the other students, even though he was the son of a rich man. He was not arrogant. In fact, sometimes he would buy a lot of food and share it with the dorm kids. They even nicknamed Andy the angelic class president.Andy and four other friends were relaxing in their room. A young man with shiny jet-black hair walked in. He was William.He came in with a big bag and two cardboard boxes to store his belongings."Hey, are you going to stay in the dorm?" asked Andy, his hawk-like eyes scrutinizing William up and down."Yeah," William replied, smiling faintly. He looked a bit awkward. They looked at him with concern. Probably because of the cardboard boxes and his shabby clothes. In fact, William was actually chauffeured by his grandfather in a Lamborghini."I hope you can accept me." William made small talk.Andrew, Andy's roommate who was busy with his laptop was quite surprised to hear William's voice. He looked at William and
